Blohm & Voss BV-222 "Viking".
The Bv222 "Viking" was an aircraft of truly impressive size,
and equally impressive characteristics. It also happened to
be the largest flying boat to achieve operation status, and
the second largest flying boat of the war. (Surpassed only by
it's cousin, the Bv238.) The Bv222 was designed by Herr R. Schubert
and Dr. Ing. Richard Vogt, and was tailored to meet a requirement
issued in 1937 for the Lufthansa. The requirement was for a
long-range passenger transport to operate from Berlin to New
York. Furthermore, the aircraft would have to make the trip
in 20 hours with at least 16 passengers (24 passengers were
to be carried on shorter routes.) Two kinds of airframes and
two kinds of example of painting are included in this file.

OS2U Kingfisher USCG.
The Vought OS2U Kingfisher, a scout and observation floatplane,
began service with the Navy beginning in August 1940. The Coast
Guard flew both the OS2U-2 and OS2U-3 models, the OS2U-3 being
distinguished from the "2" model by having extra fuel tanks
and better armor protection for the pilot and crew than the
earlier production models. Beginning in March, 1942, the Coast
Guard eventually acquired 53 of the OS2U floatplanes. Their
primary purpose was to carry the burden of the Coast Guard's
early anti-submarine efforts along the nation's coastlines and
in the coastal waters. None of the Coast Guard operated floatplanes
was credited with sinking an enemy submarine but many made rescues
of survivors from torpedoed merchant ships. Aircraft by Paul

Junkers Ju 187.
Luft'46 Art Aircraft Series No.5. By the time of the Battle
of Britain, the venerable Junkers Ju 87 design was beginning
to show some of its shortcomings. A new, faster, better armed
and better armored replacement was needed, so work was begun
on the Ju 187 design. It kept some of the features of the earlier
Ju 87, such as the cranked (gull) wing and two man crew, but
added retractable landing gear and a very novel reversible vertical
tail. One of the most unusual features was the movable vertical
tail fin, which could be moved 180 degrees in flight, thus clearing
the field of fire for the rear gunner. Although windtunnel models
and even a full-sized mock-up was built, the project was canceled
due to the fact that the projected performance was not that
much of an improvement from the older Ju 87, and also that fighter-bombers
such as the Fw 190F series could do the job as well as specialized
dive bombers. Original Paint Art by Gino Marcomini. by Kazunori

Fairey Gannet ASW
The Gannet ASW was an anti-submarine aircraft for Royal Navy.
It was used a double Mamba turbine engine in a single engine
configuration, each unit powering a set of contra-rotating propellers.
And, this had special shape of getting on of three people. by
